Prepared Steel Drums

These are a neglected set of bass and cello steel pans played with fingers and soft mallets to avoid sounding like proper steel drums (more apocalypse than calypso), the tunings are a bit iffy, but there are plenty of velocity layers per hit for a rusty hang drum like effect.

A Multitude of Applications

Great for making wonky, dusty beats, chunky acoustic EDM or even epic film scoring.

Both kits were recorded binaurally in a great sounding room with long decays.

presets might not be much, but the UI makes creating good stuff easy once you get the hang of it!
